    Prices have skyrocked since Covid. My in-law's are home builders and their lumber prices have almost doubled. Had a few projects to do and was going to start building a new house this year, going to wait now. Supposedly a lot of the mills were/are down. I suggest you hold off on the cattle barn for a while... Hopefully prices will come back down later this year.

      Tell me about it. I'm in the cabinetry/finish carpentry business and I'm about ready to give in and start doing everything on time and materials.

        Prices are through the roof. There are threads about it.

          Although I will say it seems to be affecting lumber worse than hardwoods and finished sheet goods.

          Pretty bad when a sheet of 7/16" OSB and a sheet of 3/4" D3 domestic plywood are only a few dollars difference.

            I'm a home builder on Lake Fork. House prices are through the roof because of that and other factors.

              I went and built a small porch/patio off my 5th wheel down in Rockport last week. One level, frame was 2x6, runners were 2x5/4 or similar. 12x14 simple little deal. Holy heck, lumber was almost a grand. 2014 I built a glorious patio deck at the house and it was less and a lot bigger, a lot bigger. After figuring cost I might of been better with crushed granite or concrete.

                  I just found out I have twins on the way. This will make 5 kids. Already have 2 sharing a bedroom. I have to add on, and it can't wait. Wish I was in a position to hold off until prices got right again. [emoji35]

                      It’s “that position” that got you into this situation.

                      It hopefully will get better.

                          I am livinadream brother. God has blessed my family way beyond measure. I'm not worried at all about the money, would just rather be able to do it for half the price.
